Written in easy to read language, filled with concise and easy to understand advice for the ordinary person, the Barefoot Investor is exactly what it says on the cover: “the only money guide you’ll ever need”. Buy it for yourself, buy it for your teenage and adult kids. Taking financial control really is possible, and the ability to become financially comfortable and independent - on any income - is laid out in this step by step guide. Best $24 I’ve ever spent.

I find the writer to be a man with a sense of humour, knows what he's talking about and serious about getting people back on there feet, giving them the tools they need to stay on track, it pays to have a laugh through pages keeps the character of the book real and the reader reading without the feeling of being board and want to go to sleep.

The author sets out a realistic achievable plan for those who need guidance. It is fair to say that those who find themselves lost the world of personal finance can benefit enormously by using this as a part of their basic life's financial guide. I wish I had been exposed to this kind of good advice and strategies over the past 40 yrs. My wife and I are now adopting Scott's ideas to our life to try to set ourselves up for a more comfortable stress free retirement in 5 yrs.

a simplistic read enabling the financially illiterate to achieve their life goals It puts financial reality in any one's hands. It is not a heavy finance book replete with simple understandable steps. It could do with more detail on how and where to compare products

Amazing detail and commonsense guidelines to achieve financial stability in Australia. It’s a great book, easy read and I totally recommend it. I loved it so much I bought a copy for my sister. It takes the panic & blind spending of unneeded “things” out of the equation. Excellent investment!

Easy to read, couldn't put the book down. I work in finance but this helped me greatly to break things down more and I did learn some new things along the way. I introduced the bucket system and now my budget is much happier. My path to retirement is easier and more planned out now too, whereas I was afraid before I would not have enough funds to retire. Things were explained basically and easy to interpret and my plans are all coming together gradually. Couldn't be happier about the future. I passed the book onto my daughter when I had finished with it and she found the same thing. She has restructured her budgeting and things are looking much brighter for her. She is in a happier position about her finances now as well. Suitable advice given to the everyday layman and not geared around a financial adviser working for commission.Read full review
